Smurfs cartoons remain a favorite for those people that grew up watching them as kids. We got the full treatment with Season One Vol 1 and 2 but now it seems like miscellaneous episodes in no particular orders are being put out a few at a time. Which WB associate made that irrational decision is an outrage. So the 1 star vote is for the DVD. We want season sets!

As I have said in a previous Smurf DVD review, at least they included episodes with Gargamel. I am still disappointed with the limited episodes-5, and the fact that these releases are not in chronological order. What happened to the episode where Baby Smurf arrived via stork? I wish Warner Bros would stop playing and release another Volume of numerous episodes in the order that they originally aired.

I agree with everyone else that believes these sets are overpriced. $15 for 5 episodes is just crazy. Don't any of the corporate folks read any of these reviews. If they don't, they should, because the might actually learn something they can't read in an academic journal.

Warner Home Video, when are you going to release the entire season 2 together in one product? Buying a few episodes at a time is a bit frustrating! And since there are only 15 episodes if you buy all 3 of season 2 DVDs, I am thinking there are some episodes from season 2 that are unobtainable. Why not do nice seasonal collections like those available for other TV shows?

When season 1 volumes 1 and 2 came out I was excited, purchased both, and had plans of purchasing the entire series. I was impressed with the quality and value of these two sets. When season 2 volume 1: True Blue Friends came out I could smell corporate greed immediately and have not purchased a Smurfs DVD since. I can not understand why anyone would waste their money on these low quality 5 episode DVDs.

I love the smurfs, but they need to put more than 5 episodes on a disc. Also, these episodes really sucked (as did pretty much all of season 2). "Squeaky" had me in tears. Love, love, love smurfs; barely tolerate this selection of episodes.

I did like the cartoons but it seems that they come out with too few of the videos with too few of the cartoons. Do you realize how many smurf cartoons there were and to bring out 5 every 6 to 8 months apart? I'll be in retirement before they're even halfway through the list. If they could put more on a disk or bring out the disks more often would be great. That's my only request. Thanks.

I have to disagree with the whole "buy a lame product mentality or they might punish us by not releasing any more of them." Although this may be true, it will probably just encourage this kind of releasing of product to continue.

Maybe the studios should think about this, if you don't offer your customers something they want and be happy making a little bit of money, then they will get it by some other means...

Thank god for searching and utorrent downloads...right or wrong that's your personal choice...but look at the pc gaming industry. A majority of games are abandoned (not legally abandoned like "abandonware"), but are either not available for sale as new or not supported to fix glitches...that's why people illegally download them, because that's the ONLY way to get them. Also, there's games I bought but crashed all the time...and fortunately for a few, some talented people made patches for free to fix the games, even though the producer profited from the sale of the game but assumed no liability to actually make it work.

I'm just saying, make the damn DVDs available for sale and people will buy them. Don't make them available and people WILL find a way to get them...

So to the Hanna Barberas and the Disneys, or whomever, do you want a little profit, or none at all?

The Smurfs have never failed to please. My daughter is fascinated with them. She has every available season, volume there is.... well that is available. Luckily Amazon.com offers a few that you cannot get anywhere else. You will be pleased with this family favorite.

Our nephew adores the Smurfs, so we purchased this for Christmas. He LOVED it!!! I've not actually seen the video, but know through research that Amazon was the best place for finding several options at a great price.
